Citizen TV's Victoria Rubadiri is the sixth winner of the BBC World News Komla Dumor award.

She is the second Kenyan to win the award after her fellow colleague, Wahiga Mwaura.

"Komla was a well-rounded journalist whose style, though authoritative, was also compassionate, empathetic and uplifting. His ability to give the facts comprehensively, and yet still be attuned to his audience, was something I admired and a skill I seek to emulate." Says Rubadiri.

Rubadiri will begin her three-month placement at the BBC by attending a training course with the BBC Academy before joining BBC News teams - across TV, radio and online - which will provide her with the opportunity to gain skills and experience across BBC News platforms.

The award was created to honour Komla Dumor, a presenter for BBC World News, who died suddenly aged 41 in 2014.
